Fan wins trip to Open at Emirates tee party

Dubai: Australian golfer Nikki Garrett ensured the Emirates Airline Tee Party finished in style as she presented a lucky guest a dream trip to the Malaysian Open.

It was a nail-biting finale with guests battling it out for the prize live on radio as the curtain came down on the first day of the Omega Dubai Ladies' Masters.

Guests booked their spot in the contest after scouring the Majlis course for Dubai Eye presenter Tom Urquhart, who had a luggage tag to hand out to the first five women to find him.

After a "Who Am I?" quiz show, where contestants had to guess which famous golfer Tom was describing, Marlyn Radford was celebrating after winning her seat on the flight to Malaysia to see the tournament which gets under way on March 4.

Marlyn, a keen golfer from the Philippines, said: "Winning the trip to Malaysia caps off an incredible two days. I also won a place in the Emirates Pro-Am team with Laura Davies, which was a brilliant experience and the Tee Party the next day was fantastic.

"Laura's golf clinic was great and then I was treated to a Timeless Spa massage and the spread which Emirates put on was wonderful."

Guests also met American star Christina Kim and Scotland's Lynn Kenny.
